top the system up to max,start the car with the cap off,sqeeze the top and bottom hoses to push air out,keep sqeezing the hoses and topping the water up to max,give the motor a few revs,turn your blowers to hot ,when you start getting good heat from the vents check the level ,replace the cap .Temp gauge should stay in the middle and top and bottom hoses should be hot,let it idle ,the radiator fan should start after a while,check the level again ,done  :smiley:
